CRITICS’ PICKS

Widows: Three very different, very desperate women execute a daring heist in this unusually gripping, meaty and politically charged thriller.

Roma (Netflix): An extremely quiet, even meditative picture played at the softer pitch of reality, rather than the higher frequency of drama by writer-director-producer Alfonso Cuarón.

The Other Side of the Wind (Netflix): Shot between 1970 and 1976 and then left unfinished for decades, Orson Welles’ long-awaited final feature is a cracked, corrosive vision, a cinematic hall of mirrors that fascinatingly reflects the fraught circumstances of its making.

The Kid Who Would Be King: A 12-year-old boy gets pulled into a grand Arthurian adventure in this endearing, winningly offbeat comic fantasy.
